Jose Torres,45, said he didn't remember Holmes having a roommate and said he wasn't social. Torres gasped when he realized Holmes was the accused shooter in Colorado.

It isn't that they removed an "article" to make room. That would be fine. It's that the removed information from an article, that was already published, without any retraction or explanation of why that information was removed. If the information were true (I'm not saying it was), then it has the potential to be damaging to the Official Story. Information was erased from existing articles without any hint as to why and it probably would have gone completely unnoticed (which is scary). We can speculate all we want that they did it to protect his roommates, old ones, current ones or whatever..Or that the information was incorrect. But that is just speculation as well. We are just making excuses for the media when they screwed up, or intentionally hid something. If we make excuses for them, it makes their job a hell of a lot easier too.. Hell they can report whatever they want.. It's okay....
What I'm getting at, is we wouldn't know the difference if it were true or not.. Because so many of you have fallen right into their hands by excusing it as "normal" or a "mistake".. Did it ever occur to you that they are intelligent enough to understand that if they do this enough, or claim that's what is normal.. It opens the door for them to do it with ease when they ARE trying to manipulate a story for their own agenda. People are missing the point completely.. The flood gates are open if you already think its okay for them to do this. If you are so quick to say it must be a mistake, they can do this all the time.. Even when information is pertinent and real..

Spending time on elaborate and meticulous traps in your apartment just to tell the police about it doesn't make sense. Getting geared up for a shootout(armor) just to be taken by the police without incident doesn't make sense. A genius in neuroscience programs deciding out of nowhere, with no clear motive, to plan and carry this attack out doesn't make sense. He lived with two roommates, who are now being 'forgotten.' He got a phone call just before the incident, which is also just being swept under the rug.
If you think this is all clear cut and adds up to something as simple as you are making it out to be than you are far too lost to be involved in this conversation.

I'm kind of surprised someone who works in IT hasn't noticed this before, it happens ALL THE TIME.
There is a reason it's called the world wide WEB, aka NETwork. Every single piece of information you see is there for a reason, and every single social media site is part of the web that now ensnares you.

Keep on twittering and tweeting and texting, it's good for you.
Instead of paying 10 bucks to see a movie about the facebook scam you should ask yourself why that site is worth BILLIONS of dollars, there aren't enough banner ads in the world to justify that kind of value. The real value is in all the personal information people share with the entire planet in the psychotic delusion that other people actually give a damn. You have woven your own nooses.

You are stating the obvious, but it cannot be overemphasized. What the media are doing is calibrating our ears to be unable to discern lies from non lies. The hearing is an important sense, so much so that I stay away from any television sounds that I cannot modulate or control. If you hear nothing but lies, you will lose your hearing, for all intents and purposes.

I agree. Simple fact checking uncovers the fact that the maintenance guy at the apartments said he had no roommates and he was basically anti-social. Public records might indicate he had at one time roommates, but these apartments were used to house students at the university and since it's summer break, they might not have been there.

I always thought it was sort of a journalists' "code of honor" to openly admit when mistakes were made in reporting. For example, see page 2 of this Handbook of Journalism from Reuters. "Always correct an error openly." I would assume (or at least hope) that most other organizations have the same policy.
